Shipping & Returns

We provide shipping for your order at our actual cost,
and we normally ship within one business day of your order. Please select your
preferred method at check-out (see below for current rates).
We use U.S. Postal Service ONLY. Media Mail rate (cheaper, kind of slow),
insurance, or delivery-confirmation are available by arrangement.
Please contact us if you do not find a rate to match your order...

Here are sample rates although they change regularly (please refer to check-out pages for current rates):

Returns: please notify us promptly if there is a problem with your order and contact us
before sending anything back.

Refunds: Full or partial refunds will be made for missing or mis-ordered items at the time of purchase/shipment, unless the customer
wishes to make alternate selections. (Credit for a somewhat higher value than the missing item will normally be offered.)
Credit-card purchases (except through PayPal) are not eligible for partial refunds: you will be given a choice to cancel the entire order
or to receive a credit for use on other items, or to receive a business check for the refund amount.
All items are securely packed, but the customer assumes all risk of damage or loss in transit due to mis-handling or loss.
These problems are vanishingly rare, and certainly less than one in a thousand. If at all possible we will try to replace lost items at our cost.
Insurance or registered service is available at additional cost but not recommended as it's a waste of money, given the tiny risk!
